the actual rio-ht to which of Kala Khoder is disputed ; and finally, the whole nahi<$
Kotur in its entirety. On the Persian side there remain the makhalls Salduz, Urmia,
Salmas, Khoi, and also those remaining localities administered from Khoi and Salmas
which do not belong to the makhalls remaining to Turkey on the basis of the above-
mentioned frontier.

The Modern Frontier from Ushna to Kotur.
Although, according to the old frontier, of which mention is made in paragraph 65 r
all the regions and districts specified between Ushna and Kotur should remain Turkish,
they all, however, are at present on the Persian side, and the modern frontier, ha\ mg reached
the mountains Keleh-shin, lying between Revanduz sanjak and the makhall Ushna,
goes along the watershed, and passing across the mountain Shatreb, descends into the
valley of Gaderan (that is of the river Gadyr). Having cut the valley laterally the
frontier goes to the height of Berdeh Kell, which constitutes a part of the mountain
Renduleh Zerzan, situated on the left bank of the River Gadyr, exactly opposite
the mountains Shatreh, thence, passing across the height of Renduleh Zerzan,
reaches the heights of Kalati-basat. Then the frontier turns to the west and
goes across the pass of Gervek-Zardkeh and the heights of the mountains Aalakh
(Valkh [?]), Takhti Mam Piri, and Deliamper. Having left on the Turkish side
the village Binar, situated in the nahie Nau-chia, and afterwards crossing the river of
the same name, the frontier goes to the height of the mountains Mai-Khellaneh, passes
over the mountain Gyrd-Siaba, the pass Gerveh Tabutan, the mountains Mur-shekhidan,
Seri-sheveh-Audeh, and Seri-Kelenkani. Leaving the village Arzin on the_Persian side
and crossing the river Berdeh-resh, otherwise Arzin, flowing past the tillage Arzin,
the frontier rises to the summit of the mountain Sen Shiveh-Kharamian, thence it goes
to the height ot the mountain Kuneh-mesh, neighbouring the kali Kuneh-mesh.
Leaving the villages Surkan and Kouket, the property of the Khekkaria kasi Gever, on
the Turkish side, and the Baradost village of Bekhik on the Persian side, the frontier,
first crossing the river Bajergia, passes through the centre of the villages of Sero and
Sartyk, to the east of the ruins of the village or Terau rises to the mountain Kotul and
thence along the watershed it crosses the heights of Meidan, Durgiakhi-Malanbasan [?}
Kaifaruk, Peri-Khan, and Berkhebin, and reaches the height of Kutankel. Then the
frontier leaves on the Turkish side eight villages with all their plough and grazing
lands, namely, the villages of Upper and Lower Keleh-resh, Urtanys, Gekhikan,
Kheshtarak, Kaulik, Kasrik, and Keleh-Haji, which, as was explained in paragraph 87,
constitute the villages of the nahie Shepiran, and were built ninety years ago by
some of the population of Albak, and of those tribes of the ashiret Shekkak, which are
in Turkey. Passing by the boundary of these villages the frontier reaches the
mountains of Sary-chichek, and again by tne watershed goes to the pass of Khach-gedig,
the mountain Khala-vur and the pass Birishk-Khoran, otherwise Khanyk-gedig, and
passing across the north-western end of the mountain Samur reaches the summit of the
mountain Surav.
Thence the frontier turns towards the east to the mountain Bereiulik, which, on a
special map of the previously described nahie Kotur, is shown under the name of
Aga-dagi. From the height of this mountain it goes to the mountains Giri-beran and
Chakal-dagi, of which the latter, on the map above referred to, is called Kara-kaba.
Across these mountains, and across the mountain Kur-kur, called on the same map
Anaj-dash, the frontier goes to the height of the mountain Pir-zadeh, respecting the
placing on which of a mark mention has already been made. Thence, along the crest of
the mountain Pir-zadeh, the frontier reaches Dagmaji-dash.

The Old Frontier from Dagmaji-dash to Great Ararat, representing the Extreme
Point of the Frontier of the two Countries.
The old frontier, having reached the mark placed on Dagmaji-dash in the nahie of
Kotur, passes through the defile of Bianli and rises to Aladag, where, going across t e
summit, on which the boundary mark was formerly placed, it leaves the vl fi^S e
Kashkabulakh on the Turkish side and goes to Kaia-dash, lying to the north of
village of Khisar, taking the height of Chavender on its way. Then the frontier leaves
the village Kyrys [?] to Persia, but the region of Aliand entirely to Turkey. -^ assl rK
along the Kyrys [?] defile the frontier goes to the highest point of the Kyrys L-i
